Colby Hall at Mediaite:
After 6,828 days of waking up at 3:30 a.m., Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy decided he wanted to sleep in a bit. Doocy has co-hosted Fox News’ flagship morning show since its inception nearly 30 years ago. Now, he’s leaving the confines of the “curvy couch” for a new role at Fox & Friends that will involve some more action (and a little more sleeping in). “After decades of getting up at 3:30 and driving into NYC in the dark, today is the last day I will host the show…from the couch,” Doocy announced to viewers Thursday morning. “I am not retiring, I’m not leaving the show. I’m still a host —but it’s time for a change.” Doocy will transition to a new gig as the dedicated host of the remote assignments Fox & Friends is known for – think their famed diner segments, or a recent package hosted by Doocy from the Chicken N Pickle, a suburban Kansas City pickleball facility. The show will continue to be hosted from its New York City studios by Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones, while Doocy will appear remotely. Mediaite spoke with Doocy about this new chapter in his broadcasting career, which I’ve been following since I was a kid growing up in Overland Park, Kansas, where I watched him on the local ABC affiliate, KMBC, in the early 80s. “I’m going to do some live hits from Florida,” Doocy told Mediaite. “But I’ll still travel some — you won’t know where I’m going to be. I’m going to be the coast-to-coast host. Not the couch host — the coast the coast host! Not having to be anchored to the NYC studios every day feels great, to be honest.”
When asked about how this all came about, Doocy became reflective. “It’s interesting, having done this for 30 years, you start thinking about how you’re going to find an off-ramp eventually,” he said. “What that looks like or what it feels like — I’ve been thinking about this for a few years and how you do it.” Doocy revealed he has been in discussions with Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott about how to transition into what he described as “the Johnny Carson deal!” “Suzanne and I have gone back on this for a year and a half,” Doocy said. “And we looked at what the next stage of my career with Fox News could look like, and we agreed on three days a week, and I got just what I wanted.” “I love the show, have been at it from the get-go, but I want to work, just not hosting the show in New York City every day, but I’m not retiring,” Doocy added, with some heavy emphasis on the negation. ‘And I’m not leaving the show. I will still co-host, I’ll just enjoy a change of venue. It will be easier for me to do all the stuff I want to do.”
[...] Doocy, who is turning 70 next year, is the longest-running morning show host on television, except for Al Roker of the Today Show. He made his debut on Fox & Friends in February 1998. Over the last decade, he’s watched as Fox News has evolved alongside the Republican Party, which has drifted from traditional conservative values to a more Trump-obsessed political world-view – one that has grown with and been shaped by Fox programming. Doocy has emerged, despite those pressures, as a voice of reason on the president’s favorite morning show, brave enough to represent the skeptical conservative’s case against the latest Trump move. (Keeping with the Kansas theme, his point of view has been closer to Sunflower State pol Nancy Landon Kassebaum than former Governor Sam Brownback.) That independent streak has led to occasional sparring between Doocy and his co-hosts – clashes that have always remained convivial (this is morning television, folks) and made for good headlines. It also prompted occasional snipes from President Donald Trump and his surrogates, who were upset that Doocy was not expressing fealty to the leader each morning.
Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy will continue to be a part of the show, albeit not from the famed curvy couch in FNC’s New York studio, as he transitions to remote reporting. This is a sign that he may opt to fully retire in the next few years, and his son Peter Doocy is still at the network as a reporter.

Since the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Fox News has been spreading misinformation and lies about FEMA’s disaster relief response, including the false claim that FEMA’s budget for hurricane relief was diverted to migrants. On October 8, Fox received a fact sheet from Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee about Helene relief. Fox correspondent Chad Pergram tweeted that the sheet stated “there is ‘no funding connection between’ the migrant shelter program and the Disaster Relief Fund.” The next day Fox News contributor Miranda Devine nevertheless continued to push the false claim, stating, "FEMA was handing out money to illegal migrants instead of keeping it for hurricane victims.” The Fox & Friends hosts did not push back at all. Additionally, Fox personalities have begun mocking the idea that the network is spreading disinformation.
On Fox and Friends today, Fox contributor Miranda Devine pushes anti-immigrant misinformation about Hurricane Helene even after Fox’s Congress reporter Chad Pergram debunked that nonsense.

Fox News host Steve Doocy suggested former President Trump may have been behind the leak of an audio recording showing Trump talking about his handling of classified documents.
“You know what? If Trump thinks it’s an exoneration of him, perhaps somebody on his side actually did the leaking to CNN and Maggie Haberman,” Doocy said Tuesday morning.
“That makes sense,” co-host Brian Kilmeade chimed in.
“It does, actually,” Doocy said. “He’s admitting he’s got classified documents.”

Fox News host Steve Doocy asked former President Donald Trump to denounce violent rhetoric and threats against law enforcement by his supporters after the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago estate.
During a Monday segment about the FBI search on Fox & Friends, Doocy reported that there had been "very specific threats" against FBI agents and government officials.
"It would be great for everybody to tamp down the rhetoric against the FBI because the FBI simply was doing what the DOJ asked them to do," he explained. "The attorney general is the boss of the guy at the FBI, of all the people at the FBI."
He added: "So with all of these threats going around, it would ultimately be great if the former president who has always been a great supporter of law enforcement, posed with a thousand police departments coast to coast, it would be great if he called for an end to the violent rhetoric against federal law enforcement and, in particular, the FBI that was just doing their job."

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) joined Fox & Friends on Friday, where she claimed once again that the FBI and Department of Justice have become politicized agencies, and anchor Steve Doocy simply reminded her who appointed the FBI Director Christopher Wray in the first place.
Former President Donald Trump has demanded the release of all documents related to the raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate after Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference announcing his intentions to unseal part of the search warrant.
According to reporting, the FBI was searching Trump’s home in order to find highly classified documents related to nuclear weapons. It is still unclear whether those documents included information about American national security or if they were even found on the Mar-a-Lago premises.
Stefanik has been vocal in her speculation about the FBI and the Department of Justice, claiming that President Joe Biden has “weaponized,” the agencies and made them increasingly political.
When the congresswoman joined Fox News, she echoed that sentiment saying “This is Joe Biden’s Department of Justice and FBI targeting his most likely presidential opponent in 2024,” continuing “It is not news to the American people that President Trump is very likely to run for president.”
“This was incredibly an overreach. It’s un-American,” argued Stefanik.
The congresswoman claimed that the political targeting by the FBI and DOJ is “systemic,” saying that the raid was “just blatant politicization and it should concern every American.”
Wednesday on FNC's "Fox & Friends," former Attorney General Bill Barr weighed in on the so-called Russian collusion narrative that dated back to Donald Trump's presidential election win in 2016. | Clips
